Fossilfuels
Fossil fuels are currently the world’s primary energy source. Formed from organic material over the course of millions of years. The burning of fossil fuels by humans is the largest source of emissions of carbon dioxide, which is one of the greenhouse gases that allows radiative forcing and contributes to global warming.
Petroleum
Petroleum formed in sedimentary rock under intense heat and pressure. Petroleum is also a major part of the chemical makeup of many plastics and synthetics. The world has a limited supply of petroleum, and current estimations tell us that within the next few decades mankind will have completely depleted this valuable natural resource.
Paraffin wax
Paraffin wax is a tasteless, odorless, white or colorless, hard wax that is obtained from petroleum. There are three types of Paraffin Wax namely Type-1, Type-2 and Type-3. These categories are based on the oil content. Paraffin wax is most commonly associated with candle, wax paper, drywall, electrical insulators, and acting as a base for medicinal ointments.
Coal
Coal is a fossil fuel created from the remains of plants that lived and died about 100 to 400 million years ago when parts of the earth were covered with huge swampy forests. Coal provides 40 percent of the world’s electricity. Coal is also used by other industries. The paper, brick, limestone, and cement industries all use coal to make their products.
Biogas and biomass.
bio gas can in principle be generated from any organic compound, the biomass feedstocks that can be used to produce biogas are diverse.
Solar energy
Solar energy is the most readily available source of energy. It does not belong to anybody and is, therefore, free. It is also the most important of the non-conventional sources of energy because it is non-polluting and, therefore, helps in lessening the greenhouse effect
Nuclear energy
Nuclear energy is energy in the nucleus of an atom. This energy can be used to make electricity.. It can be released from atoms in two ways: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Fission is the energetic splitting of large atoms into two smaller atoms, Fusion is the combining of two small atoms such as Hydrogen or Helium to produce heavier atoms and energy.
Naptha
Naptha is commonly used as an aid in the refinement and distillation processes of crude oils into more efficient products. Accordingly, it is known by different names, such as petroleum naphtha, coal-tar naphtha, or wod naphtha.
